    Help---got A Cracked Tank!

    No cause there wer people there petting him and he wasn't on a leash or anything. They say that for the last few years he shows up almost every day with the wolf and stays for awhile. They are very beautiful animals and they get a very bad rap.

    Small Betta Tanks

    I had my bettas in them for the warmer months of the year, the water stayed around 76 degrees so I didn't need a heater at the time. They worked great until I was able to get a better home for them and a heater for the Winter months. Ya they are quit thin but they hold up quit well.

    Small Betta Tanks

    I realize that your not in the U.S. however, I might go to the grocery store or warehouse grocery store that might sell such things as cheese balls or other snacks in a large plastic container.

    Stocking 1.5 Gallon Tank.

    I bought 3 1.5 gallon tanks from Petco last yr. that have small filters and lights with them for around 6.00 dollars each. I know that I could put a betta in each one but I was wondering if there are any shrimp or crabs, etc that could be put in them without cycling these tanks. I have had...

    I'm not really sure but if you check on line at Petsmart they have free shipping for orders over 50.00 and they have a 5 gallon aquascene aquarium setup for only 37.99. They also have a lifetime warrantee on their products TOPFIN, just a thought.

    Undergravel Filter Question

    I recently went to one of the fish stores in the area and in almost all their tanks they have undergravel filters installed. The owner told me that for tanks 30 gallon and under a undergravel filter was all you needed. While I was growning up I had a undergravel filter in my 30 gallon but back...

    Fishless Cycling With Bio-spira

    I'm certainly no expert but I was told that the small packages of bio-spira is enough to cycle a 30 gallon tank. Others here may have more info on that, all I know is that it worked great when I used it within 2 days however it was only a 10 gallon tank. Best wishes to your cycling endivers.

    Favorit Fishy

    One of my favorite is the large sailfin mollie, especially the male in all his splender they are pretty cool--I used to have some that were quite large as a teenager. For my bottom feeder/favorite fish I'd have to go with the clown loach, I also am quite empressed with the betta also.
